Our Evolution
AeriTek and the Acquisition of Due North
In 2025, AeriTek acquired Due North, the parent company of the Minus Forty and QBD brands. The acquisition strengthened our team with experienced refrigeration leaders and expanded our ability to support customers across retail, foodservice, and technology-enabled environments. The same people who supported Minus Forty and QBD customers now operate within AeriTek. Customers continue to work with familiar teams, established facilities, and proven service relationships.
This transition expands every part of our platform. We now maintain greater manufacturing scale, stronger technology capability, and a broader range of equipment that helps customers deploy high-performing fleets across regions and countries. The products, engineering strength, and service quality that customers expect from Minus Forty and QBD remain firmly in place. AeriTek enhances these strengths with additional resources, deeper category insight, and a unified approach to customer support.
